 Sweet, Sad Amazing and wonderful
I just finished this amazing book. This story is about a little boy and girl who become best friends in first grade. They stay best friends throughout the rest of the book. Eventually it turns into love and Jessi and Melinda realize that they cant live without eachother. Melinda gets cancer and everything changes. This is my new favorite book my Lurlene McDaniel. All of her books are amazing, but this one has a special something. I love reading the notes, letters, and e-mails that are throughout the story. I cant wait to read more books by this author.
 A Rose For Melinda
I thought that this book is alright, it was deffinatly a touching and moving book. I didn't like the fact that there is no real dialouge in the whole book. All of the story is told in notes, e-mails, IM's, and diary entries. I thought that in some parts it would be nice to acually see the conversation between Jesse and Melinda. I thought that this was a book worth reading, although not the best one on Lurlene's.
One of Lurlene McDaniel's BEST!
My all time favorite book of LM is Telling Christina Goodbye, it was one of the best! Now A Rose For Melinda is my all time favorite book! The book is about true friends, and living life to the fullest. It shows you that even though you may be dyeing, that you should have the best time of your life. This books makes you cry so much. The last few pages are the best, every so often i will find the book and just reread the last pages. If you are looking for a great Lurlene McDaniel book I reccomend this 100 percent!
A Rose for Melinda
"Rose for Melinda"
By:Amanda Heyse
Do you enjoy reading books about love and friendship? If you do, "A Rose for Melinda" is a "must read" for you. So, grab a blanket, make your self some hot chocolate, snuggle up on the couch, and enjoy!
"A Rose for Melinda" is a story about friendship and eternal love. Melinda Skye and Jesse Rose have been best friends since kindergarten. But when Jesse's mother and father get divorced Jesse has to leave Melinda and move to California. However, Jesse and Melinda stay in touch for many years. When Melinda becomes diagnosed with leukemia her dreams of becoming a famous ballerina may not work out. During this time everyone in Melinda's family supports her, even Jesse and her friend Bailey.
I would recommend this book to all teenage girls. It is a story about friendship and courage. The importance of true friendship is shown throughout the book. The main character shows her courage by continuing to follow her dream of being a dancer despite her illness.
Together Forever?
Lurlene McDaniel writes her books about teens faced with life threatening illnesses. A Rose for Melinda has to do with Melinda Skye and Jesse Rose's relationship with each other. The two of them have been best friends since kindergarten. But when Jesse's parents split, he is forced to move to California with his mom. Melinda is devastated, though she knows that that will not tear their relationship apart. They continue to e-mail, write, and call each other in order to keep in touch. Melinda's biggest dream is to become a famous ballet, and when she gets accepted to the Atlantis Dance Team, she is thrilled. Everything is great for her until one day when she falls. At the hospital, Melinda discovers she has leukemia. While she is battling this disease, everyone is right there beside her, including Jesse and her friend Bailey.
I like that this book could relate to your life, and the things that happened could actually happen. A Rose for Melinda, to me, was a real story. The book focused on a lot of characters, it just wasn't all about one person. What I didn't like about the book, was that it didn't give great details about things, and sometimes you could predict what was going to happen next.
A Rose for Melinda is one of my favorite books, and I would highly recommend it for every girl to read. Some of the parts were sad at times, and that's what made the book good and interesting. Most guys probably wouldn't enjoy this book as much as females would. It's a fast read for any teenage girl.
